The missed appointment with mathematics …

“Math? Absolute nightmare.”

Every mathematician hears this at dinner. And behind those words lies something far deeper than a bad school memory: a colossal misunderstanding about what mathematics actually is.

No, math is not just a collection of formulas to memorize and regurgitate on an exam. It is a way of thinking, of reasoning, of not being fooled by what seems obvious.

And no, AI does not make it obsolete. Quite the opposite.

In this article, I try to repair that missed encounter. Why has school so often handed us a distorted picture of this discipline? What is its real value, the kind that stays with you even after you’ve forgotten everything? And what does the rise of artificial intelligence tell us about our relationship with mathematics?

An invitation to see this science differently. Not as a torture device for schoolchildren, but as an adventure of the mind.

From Vibe Coding to Vibe Thinking: when ease becomes a trap

From Vibe Coding to Vibe Thinking: when ease becomes a trap

Developers are burning out. And it’s not because they’re working too hard.

In barely a year, artificial intelligence has invaded our offices with a brutality nobody truly anticipated. ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek… these tools have become our new reflex, our universal shortcut, our permanent validation machine.

But something is cracking. The first ones to fall aren’t confused beginners overwhelmed by technology. They are seasoned engineers, ten or fifteen years in the field, who used AI as an accelerator. Their diagnosis is unanimous: cognitive exhaustion, loss of meaning, silent burnout.

This phenomenon has a name: vibe coding. And it’s not just a developer problem.

Because what these professionals are experiencing with code today, we are already experiencing with our emails, our reports, our strategies. Zero friction is not liberation. It’s a spring-loaded trap.

95% of companies see no measurable return on their generative AI investments. We produce more. We create less value. And in the meantime, something far more precious is quietly eroding: our ability to think for ourselves.

In this article, I explore why the real question is not “how to use AI better” but something far more uncomfortable: what are we becoming while we use it?

School was designed to produce executors. AI will replace them. (Part 2/3)

School was designed to produce executors. AI will replace them. (Part 2/3)

Schools spent 50 years training executors. AI just made that model obsolete.

The worst part? We knew it. We still cut maths from the core curriculum. We sidelined philosophy. We rewarded those who followed instructions rather than those who challenged them.

The result: entire generations trained to do exactly what algorithms do today… better, faster, no coffee break needed.

What cannot be replaced is critical thinking. Doubt. Intuition built through experience. The very skills the World Economic Forum now ranks at the top of recruiters’ priorities worldwide.

The same ones we made optional.

In this second part, we dig into the paradox: at the exact moment when thinking becomes our only competitive edge over machines, we gutted the disciplines that taught us how to do it.

The full article is linked below. It stings a little. That was the point.

How ChatGPT revolutionized the world (Part 4/5)

How ChatGPT revolutionized the world (Part 4/5)

ChatGPT has already transformed the way we work, learn, create, and even structure our thinking. Yet behind the spectacular performance of artificial intelligence lie deeper limitations as well, hallucinations, bias, opacity, technological dependence, and a quiet reshaping of our intellectual bearings. This article explores how ChatGPT is revolutionizing the world, not only in our everyday uses, but also in our relationship with knowledge, education, work, and even the future of our civilization.

AI Slop, or the industrial force-feeding of the mind

Have you ever spent twenty minutes scrolling, reading, watching… then closed LinkedIn with a strange feeling, the sense of having consumed a lot without really learning anything?

This is not a lack of curiosity or discipline. It is the effect of a new information environment where AI produces smooth, reassuring, instantly consumable content, yet often poor in substance. This is what we call AI slop, intellectual food that satisfies in the moment, without ever nourishing thought.
